Will Smith demands $20M…turns down role
WILL SMITH has turned down $15M for lead role in new MARVIN GAYE biopic…wow!
The actor spent months in negotiations to portray the legendary soul man, but the film is still without a leading man after Smith demanded $5M more than producers were willing to pay.
Said producers, "It’s all about getting the contact high in a movie theatre that you can get from music. A record can change your life. Somebody poured their life into that little piece of music. It’s too bad Will wasn’t willing to do the same for this film."
